Wrestler of the Year 2020

And finishing out AEW's sweep of our year end awards here goes the big one, Wrestler of the Year!

3.) Cody Rhodes
Cody, long since shaking his 3 star ring general nickname given to him by some fans, had a hell of a year in ring. He took the TNT title and used it as a way to introduce and get over young and new talent. The gimmick let them bring in Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks both of whom have been huge for AEW. He had good showcases with Sonny Kiss and Jungle Boy. He even just had some regular good matches with Hager, Darby and Scorpio Sky. But the crown jewel for him was the way he put over Brodie Lee and then everything leading into the return match with the Dog Collar. Just perfection.

2.) Kenny Omega
I guess it's too bad Kenny Omega ruined all of his credibility early in the year selling for Alan Angels and teaming with Michael Nakazawa or he might have actually won this category. Kenny was incredible all year both in tagging with Hangman and his singles run that followed, culminating in his "Golden Screwjob" victory over Moxley that has set into motion one of the hottest angles in wrestling. In between he only had our match of the year plus another couple contenders, including the best Lucha of the year with Laredo Kid.

I guess in short, Kenny's just okay.

1.) Jon Moxley

This was Moxley's year. And I do to some extent feel bad that of all years to be HIS year, it had to be 2020 but fuck it. He made the most of it. He worked hard and stuff. He gave some of the best wrestling promos we've ever seen. he had hard hitting main events with Brodie Lee, Lance Archer, Juice Robinson, Lance Archer again, Brian Cage, Eddie Kingston, and teased a feud with KENTA that's gonna fucking rule. He went to Japan and was great. He stayed here and was great. Everything he did felt special. He was the fucking man this year and deserves the title of Wrestler of the Year.
